Compression level options
The following table describes the compression levels that you can apply to the recovery points.
See Scheduling a backup.
Table: Compression level options
Option | Description |
|---|---|
None | Indicates that no compression is applied to the recovery point. Use this option if storage space is not an issue. However, if the backup is saved to a busy network drive, high compression may be faster than no compression because there is less data to write across the network. |
Standard (recommended) | Uses low compression for a 40 percent average data compression ratio on recovery points. This option is set by default. |
Medium | Uses medium compression for a 45 percent average data compression ratio on recovery points. |
High | Uses high compression for a 50 percent average data compression ratio on recovery points. This option is usually the slowest method. When a high compression recovery point is created, CPU usage might be higher than normal. Other processes on the computer might also slow down. |
